Taking a deep breath, Axel finally smiled helplessly.
"Alright."
He gently accepted the ghost essence. "Then I will take it."
Seeing him finally agree, Lana immediately smiled brightly.
This was perhaps one of the rarest and most valuable gifts Axel had ever received.
And deep inside, he genuinely wanted to treasure it forever.
However, he also understood that if he did not properly improve his cultivation, Lana would continue blaming herself.
Because of that, Axel completely focused himself on refining the ghost essence during the following week.
As a result, he barely spent any time with Lana during those days.
Still, Lana never complained even once. Every time she saw him, she only smiled softly and encouraged him.
"It would be wonderful if Uncle could recover completely as soon as possible."
Those simple words always warmed Axel's heart strangely.
Thanks to the ancient ghost essence, Axel finally managed to recover his original cultivation rank completely.
